Your videos have helped me so much with learning embroidery. Thank you! I have THE HARDEST time keeping the back of my work neat and not getting a million tangles. 😭
StiffInTheCrypt Aw thank you, I’m so glad it’s helped! The back of mine can get a little crazy too haha I don’t know if you already do this but I try to tie off my thread pretty much each time I’m done with a color or piece of thread so the tails don’t get tangled up in other stitches while I’m embroidering! It’s kind of annoying to have to stop and do it every time instead of waiting but it helps in the long run!
Since seeing this second method, I’ve been using it to finish all my stitches on any type of clothing project. I’m always still nervous though that it’ll unravel. Can anyone speak to how secure the second method actually is?
This is also known as the Aberdeen knot, it is also used in surgical techniques (although it is knotted about 4-5 times before slipping the thread al the way through) so it's pretty secure😉
Thank you so much for this, as someone who doesn't feel comfortable doing something without step by step instructions, this is fantastic.💛 You can find all kinds of videos for how to do a certain stitch but no one seems to include ...what I'd argue is the most important part (how to finish it). 😅
I use the second end knot on all my stuff even if it’s not clothes cuz security matters and almost everything eventually needs to be washed which could cause it to come undone.
I tie off by just running thread through the back threads in various directions about 3 times. It's not going anywhere. I roll the thread around my index finger tip then pull thread to create knot. Fast and easy. Barely any tail if any
Those knots will come loose when wet. Just run your thread through your back threads a few times. Sew INTO the knot you just created. Lasts forever. If you can safely pick up a bit of fabric, even once, that works great as well. Do the whole thing with needle still threaded.
How do you embroider a three layer panel. I have a Happy Birthday panel with a high loft batting and a backing. I want to embroider around the letters so they become puffy. I was successful with two letters but it took me a long long time. How would you do this and what kind of frame if any. I have search hours and there is no help for this on this site. Thank you.
I’m not sure I know what kind of glue that is! I would say glue shouldn’t be necessary. I don’t add any glue to any of the knots when I secure stitches and they stay put most of the time.
Your first knot is too small and doesn’t work well on fabrics with a lower thread count. It also requires 2 hands. My grandma taught me that while holding my needle in my right hand, you wrap the end around your index finger twice and then pressing your thumb forward towards the end of your finger, you roll the two pieces of thread together. Once it comes off of your finger, you grab the string above the knot between the pad of your thumb and the nail of your index finger and then pull towards the end. If you twisted it enough during the rolling part you should get a good knot that’s a little bigger than your version.
I wish you had gone a little slower with that last method. I'm brand new 😅 and got a little lost. Still am, so I'm rewatching for the fourth time to try and secure my current stitch.
How you start an embroidery stitch can depend on the type of stitch you are doing, but generally after you make a knot that was shown in the video you would come up with your needle and thread through the fabric.
NEVER seen this last type of knot! Thank you for sharing!
brandichutney you’re welcome! 😊
It actually has a name. I was suprised when she did it because thats a knot technique that surgeons use. 😁 It's called the aberdeen knot! 😁
We use that knot in some surgical closures! I didn't realize I already had the answers for how to end my project haha
love how very simple and straightforward this video is!
Thank you!! So glad it’s helpful!
Straight to the point and perfect explanation! Exactly what i was looking for! Thank you!! ❤
You're welcome!
Mind blown on that last super simple super secure looking knot!! Thank you! 😊
You’re welcome!! 😊
I’m just starting and pleased to see the last stitch is very similar to tying a horse up! I’ve been practicing my whole life and didn’t realise 😂
You know i never put those together! I grew up riding and you just made me realize it’s like a quick release knot!
@@crewelghoul glad to of reminded you haha although now I’m curious about the history of it!
Your videos have helped me so much with learning embroidery. Thank you!

Hi there, Im interested aswell. how have your knots been, did they unravel?
What I do for the second method is I do the knot multiple times just in case
Use interfacing!

As a crocheter the last knot is all I can do
Thank you so much for this video. I have watched it a ton of times and used it every time thank
I’m so glad it’s helpful! 😊
I had an embroidery competition in my school I didn't know how to do it. Thanks a lot❤️🎉
You’re welcome!!
Thank you! Just starting out on embroidery.
I use the second end knot on all my stuff even if it’s not clothes cuz security matters and almost everything eventually needs to be washed which could cause it to come undone.

Thank you so much. I literally just started a few minutes ago, and the original tutorial I watched did not show how to finish off
Glad I could help!

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for!

finally someone with a brain
To the point, thank you!♥
Thank you! this helps me for my project!
So easy and simple thank you
Do you think the last knot will be safe on clothing that will be washed in a washing machine?
Those knots will come loose when wet. Just run your thread through your back threads a few times. Sew INTO the knot you just created. Lasts forever. If you can safely pick up a bit of fabric, even once, that works great as well. Do the whole thing with needle still threaded.
Thank you for this!!!
Thank you so much

Thanks. It means a lot
Awesome!
Thank you ❤️
Thank you.
Yay! Thank you!!

Thanks sister

Will the knots on the backside show through?
How do you embroider a three layer panel. I have a Happy Birthday panel with a high loft batting and a backing. I want to embroider around the letters so they become puffy. I was successful with two letters but it took me a long long time. How would you do this and what kind of frame if any. I have search hours and there is no help for this on this site. Thank you.
Does it come undone easily?
How does it works if it's a straight stitch? I have nothing in the back to use 😢
I’d suggest leaving a tail and tying a knot in the threads along the back!
Could you hit the knot with a little ca glue?
I’m not sure I know what kind of glue that is! I would say glue shouldn’t be necessary. I don’t add any glue to any of the knots when I secure stitches and they stay put most of the time.
@@crewelghoul Cyanoacrylate glue (instant glue)

Whats the name of the technique???

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll be sure to slow it down a little next time 😃
you didnt show at all
how u started it

What do you think are you crazy?
I’m not sure I understand this comment haha
